SC Rural Health Research Center

The SCRHRC focuses on investigating persistent inequities in health status within
the population of the rural United States, with an emphasis on inequities stemming
from socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity, and access to healthcare services.
We strive to make our research findings useful to organizations and individuals working
to improve the quality of life for rural residents.

The Center allows us to build on and expand our ongoing cooperative research partnerships
with other key organizations - government, academia, health services delivery and
the rural community - who can join our quest to improve the health of rural Americans.
